I stumbled upon a program that helped me a great deal, and
you can quit reading and go there now: Pregnancy Without Pounds
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Believe you me, I have tried to find out how to avoid a fat, unattractive and uncomfortable pregnancy. No one likes a grouch.
But even though I had all the reason in the world to feel
grumpy and cranky and vent those frustrations on to my loving
husband (who always has trouble getting things right xoxo),
I felt in the back of my mind that feeling this down and
outright ugly was not just unhealthy for me but also for
my baby.
So one morning, I decided to wake up and break my daily habit
of sitting in front of the television and snacking away. I decided
that my pregnancy should be a celebration and not a
struggle. So I got online.
I Googled.
I MSNed.
I even YAHOOed!
And I stumbled upon alot of false promises and unrealistic diets
and exercise plans. Most of it asked me to contort my body in
strange ways and many just weren't realistic for my income level
or pregnancy stage.
However, I stumbled upon a program that helped me a great deal, and
you can quit reading and go there now: Pregnancy Without Pounds
In a nutshell, some helpful things I learned from the site:
- USE that funny looking ab ball! I know you have seen them perhaps
at Wal-Mart or on informercials and thought it was a bunch of
hype. But after a few weeks, I noticed my core was strengthening,
which helped ease my backpains and gave me a bit more mobility!
- Everyone always talks about food cravings and how they go out
of control when you are pregnant. But one secret I used to help
curb those cravings was the POWER OF SUBSTITUTION. I reminded
myself of how good I used to look before the pregnancy with old
pictures of myself all over the place and tried to associate
as much pain as possible to the late night ice creams and
chili dogs I couldn't resist.
- I can't stress this enough: WATER is your best friend. And not
just regular water but really go for liquids that have electrolytes
and vitamins to keep your strength up.
Well, that's all for now. I hope this article will open your eyes
to how important it is for you to stay a "sexy mama"!
